Introduction

Learn Japanese Pod is the podcast that helps you sound more natural and fluent in Japanese. Each week we take a look at a completely random word or phrase to amaze, surprise and impress your Japanese friends so much that they fall off their chairs. Today's phrase is hampanite, which means something like incredible, amazing, awesome or unbelievable. It comes from the term tutohampa, which means half-hearted, half-assed, careless or incomplete.
